23 - When you post, where do you post to? Just your journal? Just an archive? Your own personal site?

I post in a number of places. I've been on fanfiction.net since 1999, and have always had my own archives as well, the latest incarnation being at http://FANDOM.scribblesinink.com ( ( Read more... )

22 - Have you ever participated in a fest or a Big Bang? If so, write about your favorite experience in relation to one. If not, are there any you've thought about doing? And if not, why not?

I sometimes take part in bingo challenges or exchange fests. Not very often, since I've learned I don't generally write well to deadlines or prompts-it ( Read more... )

21 - Sequels - Have you ever written a sequel to a fic you wrote, and if so, why, and if not, how do you feel about sequels? God, yes. Not counting serialized stories set in a specific verse, I've written sequels, prequels and trilogies, even. Sometimes, because that's the way it was planned. Sometimes, because I realize I'm not done yet with the ( Read more... )

20 - Do you ever get bunnied from other people's stories or art in the same fandom?

Oh, absolutely!

19 - When you have bunnies, do you sit down and start writing right away, or do you write down the idea for further use? I used to write them right away. Nowadays, it depends. I think there's a difference between "bunnies" and "bunny-with-muse". The latter demands much more attention right away than the former. I have a long list of "just" bunnies ( Read more... )

Dunno if anyone's been following the developments surrounding the Google+ "nymwars", but between the general gist of the comments from the pro-"real" name people and the fact Google doesn't seem to be willing to budge even a little (apparently, G+ is an "identity service" now, instead of a social network, whatever that means...), I think it's time ( Read more... )

17 - Titles - Are they the bane of your existence, or the easiest part of the fic? Also, if you do chaptered fic, do you give each chapter a title, or not?Back in the days, I'd sometimes give chapters a separate title. But coming up with titles is hard work, and there's very little gain in titling chapters. And nowadays, I hardly ever even ( Read more... )

16 - Summaries - Do you like them or hate them? How do you come up with them, if you use them?Summaries are an absolute Must Have. Along with titles, ratings, pairings and other meta information, they help the reader decide whether or not they want to take a chance at your story. That said, they can be friggin' hard to write! Often harder than the ( Read more... )

15 - Warnings - What do you feel it most important to warn for, and what's the strangest thing you've warned for in a fic?Back when I started writing fic, warnings were largely non-existent. They certainly weren't as much a requirement as they are these days (warning: my older fic comes without warnings, even if 2011 norms would require them ( Read more... )

14 - Ratings - how high are you comfortable with going? Have you ever written higher? If you're comfortable with NC-17, have you ever been shocked by finding that the story you're writing is G-rated instead?I've written from G to NC-17, and everything in between. Most stories fall somewhere between the extremes ( Read more... )
